Agreed generals are not only killing /g/ but most of 4chan as well I cant name a board that doesn't have Page 0 full of generals anymore. But I also want to brag about all my old hardware so I'm conflicted. I guess I'll just sage this shitty thread.
>>53852630
More and more people are jumping off the upgrade treadmill and just using what works for them. You don't need a supercomputer to browse 4chan and watch animu. Expect threads like this to pop up reguarly.

This gaming laptop is 2 years old, I don't expect to upgrade it any time soon.
>>53852562
Software? Yeah obviously you're an idiot if you don't install security patches.
Hardware? Veeery unlikely. Maybe for out of commission routers and stuff. I know some early generation Intel Core CPU's are vulnerable to a specific attack that can run OS independent (e.g. survive a reinstall) but even that can be patched via the BIOS

What makes you think updates protect you from this shit? All the hotfixes in the world aren't going to stop some dipshit from outright authorizing the owning of his system.
>exploits
Maybe if you're running an outward-facing service on an old software platform like a web server, in which you will surely be hit with attacks from automated bots. If you're just a home user surfing a few trusted sites on an older system with no open ports? Less likely. I've never had a single problem with any unsupported systems I've used for such a role, nor have I really seen anyone else who has.
But obviously, in the face of a motivated individual, these systems will be swiss cheese, but so would many up-to-date systems as well. Proper security isn't a matter of updates alone.

My Razr V3 died two days ago on Saturday.
I flipped it open and it was a bit stuck. I tried closing and re-opening a few times but it kept getting stuck less than halfway open.
I used some force and heard a snap, the screen and speaker are now RIP.
Replacing with a 5x and google fi - is there any easy way to get all of the data off of my old phone?

Thinking of just throwing NetBSD on it and using it as an easy SSH/Telnet gateway for shitboxes.
>>53856899
If I recall, the indigo2 requires irix 6.5.22 to run modern firefox for TLS to support shitposting, but I don't have it installed. ( which won't work on an indigo2 but indigo2s are nice for irc / RasMol )
idk i'd help you fix your shit if you lived near me (773) but you probably don't.

This glorious fucking bastard.
Had it about a month, just bought a second one from the same seller (same pics, hope he actually had another and didn't accidentally post the same auction twice)
It benchmarks worse than a 2012 phone but it's just so fucking nice.
No EFI bullshit, 1000m ethernet, handles stripped debian like a dream. It's the perfect storage/everything box.
Sure it takes 5x as long to run shit in ffmpeg as my laptop, but it's the perfect mix of size, power efficiency and utility.
Fuck a $400AUD nuc when I can get this qt for $60.
They just look so nice. Using it for basically everything my mac mini did.
Also, lumia 530. Had a razr i but the amoled fucked itself and my friend said he didn't want me not being contactable for a week while I got a new screen, so he dragged me down to dick smith and bought this fucker. The only change I'd consider would be going to a 620 when this thing's dead beyond recovery, but I have a spare with a fried mobo so fuck it. Bought a zenfone 2 for VR and deving shit, but I wouldn't use it as a daily driver.
Also 2010 mac mini, sure it's kinda young (Fuck, 6 years ain't all that young when I think about it), but why bother upgrading, especially with the little 500 geek bench fucker in pic related?
I don't think I'll upgrade much of anything I have for 5 or so years, I just don't need to (even though some stuff's a bit young now, it sure as fuck won't be when I replace it)
Also 160gb iPod classic/4GB mini (Depending on my mood).
Not gonna lie, I have a 7th gen nano, but it was $30 on eBay so fuck it.
It's funny, for the last christmas and birthday I've been through I didn't want anything. I am utterly happy with what I have, and that feels better than any purchase I've ever made, because it always stays with me.

My Thinkpad T60.
I should want to get rid of it, but dat 4:3 screen is too nice to lose, even with a resolution of 1024x768 I have all I need in terms of screen space.
Even more so if I stick to terminal programs for things like music. You can fit so much in with command line software.

You can get C2Q for 20 € now, you should really upgrade. The Phenom II I got also cost me 20 € and its on par with current i3s (In multi-threading).
Still decent enough for a multimedia machine.
This was a budget computer for games I built over 4 years ago.
I barely play games anymore and I give no fucks about new releases.
I don't hoard much data so 1TB is more than enough.
I don't have a computer heavy work so this CPU is more than enough for me.
Considered buying an SSD but I see no reason for.
Hell I could even take out the 560Ti and be fine.

-Galaxy S2 - rooted, debloated. Stock ROM, works fine.
-Compaq SR1920nx - Domain controller and file server at work running Server 2003. Set it up in like 2005, and still works fine.
-Compaq SR1720nx - Running Ubuntu server for a company intranet. Serves a single page for centralization of company credentials. This ones power supply did catch fire at one point, and take out a hdd. I was able to clean up the connector and the hdd is still usable, but I probably wouldn't.
-Dell inspiron laptop - I forget which model, but it is a P4, and works fine with any linux distro for networking things.
-A pair of Radeon HD 6970 - One is in my music production / gaming machine, and runs STALKER just fine. The other one is in my work computer just chilling.

Not much use to me now, but I still remember those 6 years of rocking this thing with great fondness.
Might put it to work again by replacing cheap old PSU and changing mobo with case to micro ATX. Maybe add some more storage.

Picked it up for $500 at costco and it was running a radeon hd 6650m (equivalent to a 6550 iirc). Unfortunately it died recently due to overheating because I was too scared to take the fucker apart to clean it. Still runs, the fan boots up when I hit the power, but the screen is blank.

My G750 is getting repaired, so I'm posting this on a 4 year old HP 2000 laptop that I bought new for about $300. It was shitty the day it came out of the box and it's twice as shitty now. I "upgraded" it to W10 from W7 and now the fan is on max all the time. Can't wait to get my ASUS back.

I had a t42 with debian on it. I love the build of that machine. The t42 with a high res screen, modern specifications, and a good battery would be the perfect laptop. Sadly it was plugged in during a storm and stopped working. No other electronics seemed to be affected, but now it will not boot.

5 year old netbooks don't have this storage space problem. Why buy some thing new when its got new problems the old stuff didn't have. May as well use the old stuff. If a netbook comes out that can take a standard 2.5" laptop drive I'd be interested. Theres no reason to upgrade.

I've considered one before but I know I wouldn't actually use it.
Using Xperia Arc S. I guess, it should count, since I'm probably not moving from it any time soon. It still holds up pretty well, and it is a pretty old phone.
Honestly, it got a lot better once I installed CM on it. The default ROM was kinda garbage, no internal memory to speak of limited me a lot (which is fixed by Marshmallow and also by custom LegacyXperia Lollipop that allow to use SD Card as /data partition), the battery life was horrendous (it isn't now that I actually changed my governor), and it certainly was a lot slower than this supposedly heavier version (probably something to do with Dalvik/ART).
Well, OK, Lollipop was sometimes kinda slow too, but Marshmallow is just perfect.
I have no idea why I even riced it, honestly. I only use it for calls and as a portable map. Rarely, as an MP3 player. But it is a lot better that way.
Wanted to brag for a second about the best computer I've bought in terms of value and performance and hopefully help someone out who wants a top-tier 'cheap' laptop that's very capable of gaming.
Got this mint Dell Precision M6600 for $460 shipped last summer when I didn't have room for a desk and it's been really fucking awesome. Came with a Sandy Bridge i7, 1080p (FHD) excellent display, upgraded Firepro M6100 graphics from a newer Precision 6800, 8GB of RAM, etc.
Processor is several generations old now but still very fast even at 'only' 3.4ghz and it feels every bit as fast as my new desktop, especially with the Cruicial MX100 in it. I couldn't recommend it more highly if you want a nice 1080 laptop with a quick processor and relatively high-end graphics for sub-$500.
>fans are dead silent even when gaming/stress testing for long periods
>Firepro M6100 graphics are slightly faster than 960m, 770m, AMD M385x, AMD 7970m and on-par with Desktop 7870
>runs modern games at 1080 with good settings
>temps never get above 68c GPU and 70c CPU even with overclocked GPU and aforementioned silent fans
>reasonable portability for a powerful 17" laptop with build quality, hardware and design that shames a Thinkpad
Seriously, if you were struggling to find a gaming-capable 1080p laptop for reasonable money this is a steal, and the Sandy Bridge i7 surprised even me with how well it's held up. Exceptional piece of hardware and probably best value I've ever bought electronics-wise.

1GB + 2GB. Mismatched sticks in dual channel mode. Motherboards have been able to do that for a while.

You can get pretty good deals on refurbed small form factor PCs on eBay, but you can't really slap a monster video card in them, so they're limited to basic desktop shit. Not good for SHOOTAN GAEM.

Same dude. I'm keeping this phone till the day I die
X60 tablet from 2005 or so. Runs perfectly although the screen is getting dimmer, lost the latch, the hinge wobbles a bit, the wifi card gets hot as balls and the sata interface is old. Might get an ssd and fix the little things here and there.

Ive wanted to buy a dead one/case for a while and build a chink intel tablet into it or something.
>>53857704
I gave up on trying to save my eee 1000h just a few days ago. The cooling fan had a noise in it so I tried to replace it, but when I took apart the case I realized it had simply developed too many cracks over the years and there was nothing I could do to save it. I almost shed a tear as I threw it in the trash.
I am sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask but has anyone here have experience with upgrading laptop WiFi module?
Picrelated is MSI X370 which I already boosted with SSD and RAM upgrades so its 802,11n capability is the last somewhat outdated flaw which I consider improving. Question is if it is really worth it with antennas replacement and what not.
Nexus 5, latest Android marshmallow.
I can root, I can flash custom rom, kernel,
Battery life is pretty good, easily one day
NO lag, no over heat,

Grave me a reason to change

>>53879784
All I need a phone for is a basic calendar, texting, and notes. I can do that on literally anything. This was the absolute cheapest option. Next time my phone breaks, if I can't get anything locally with a nice keyboard, I will probably get something very similar online.
>>53879835
Well yes you can do that on anything, but why restrict yourself to shit just because you can use that shit?
>>53879609
Usually the antennas are standard and the wifi chip just goes in the minipcie port.
>>53879876
I think that antennas for 802.11n and 802.11ac standard are different.
I've got this, it's nice
>>53858875
Enjoy your stage fright.
>>53879851
Because I got it locally. It took me 30 minutes to get a replacement.
>>53879909
They look the same to me. Here is the first AC card I found:
http://www.amazon.com/Bplus-7260-HMWG-Wireless-AC-Bluetooth-HMCPartner/dp/B00HJCBV64/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459867910&sr=8-2&keywords=laptop+wifi+ac+pci
I don;t see why they would change the standard. Unless you need more antennas than you have. Open it up and count the antennas, sometimes there are extras for upgrades.
>>53880008
And? That makes sense for a temporary replacement but not a permanent one

Pick one. There was a lenovo that kept being shilled that was actually quite good that fits your bill. Cant remember the model. Also maybe a used RoG asus laptop.

I'm happy with it.
Cameras are more /p/ than /g/ related but it is a digital one.
Got her about 3 years ago from a war journalist. She was already pretty beat up and her shutter count was on the high side of 400K. Dragged her through snow, mud, rain and literally fire that one time. She never gave me any problems. Shutter count is about 750K now and everything is working like the day she left the factory in Japan. I'll keep her for the rest of my life even if I stop using her as my main camera.
